Abstract
A method for a cellular telecommunications network includes selecting first and second source cells that are co-sited cells associated with first and second antennas, respectively, identifying first neighbor cells of the first cell and second neighbor cells of the second cell, determining that an antenna feed for the second cell is feeding the first antenna by comparing locations of the first neighbor cells to a pointing direction of the first antenna.
